Itinerary

Day 1
Manchester - Lake District - Glasgow - Loch Lomond - Oban
4 stops
1
Our first stop is the charming village of Pooley Bridge in England’s stunning Lake District. It’s hard not to fall in love with this English tapestry of majestic landscapes, so make sure your camera is ready. You’ll likely be inspired to passion and creativity just like William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter were.

Glasgow
Now it’s time to say goodbye to England and head into the dramatic landscapes of bonnie Scotland. We head straight for the city of Glasgow where you’ll have a couple of hours to grab a bite to eat and explore this lively metropolis.

Luss
In the afternoon, we head for the wee village of Luss in Argyll and Bute. Keep your camera handy on the journey, as we’ll be passing through stunning West Highland scenery. Sitting snugly on the west bank of Loch Lomond, no visit to Luss is complete without taking in the views of Ben Lomond and Loch Lomond from the end of the pier.

Day 2
Loch Ness - Glenfinnan - Glencoe
3 stops
5
Loch Ness
We head to the town of Fort Augustus, situated on the banks of the world-famous Loch Ness. Time to find Nessie for yourself? Here you’ll have time to grab a quick bite to eat and jump on a cruise on the loch itself.
2 hours • Admission ticket included
6
Glenfinnan Viaduct
In the afternoon, we journey onwards to the jaw-dropping Glenfinnan Viaduct. Many know this bridge as the ‘Harry Potter bridge’, seen at the start of the second movie when Harry and Ron attempt to catch up to the Hogwarts Express Train by using a flying car. We all know how that turned out. While we cannot guarantee that the Jacobite Steam Train will pass over the bridge during our visit, it remains a wonderful viewpoint and incredible feat of engineering for you to enjoy and photograph.

Glencoe
We then head towards the famous Scottish valley of Glen Coe. The sheer majesty of the surrounding mountain scenery will fill up your camera... and once we reach the Three Sister’s Viewpoint, you’ll feel certain that you’ve slipped into a dream.

Kilchurn Castle
We head to Kilchurn Castle first thing this morning. This power base of the Campbells of Glenorchy looks out over the mystic Loch Awe. It’s all in the name really. It’s one of the most photographed castles in Scotland for a reason.
1 hour • Admission ticket free
9
As we continue our journey, we arrive in the village of Killin. While a popular destination for salmon fishing and watersports, you’ll be visiting today for a wee explore and a bite to eat.

Stirling Castle
One of Scotland’s greatest stone castles, a 12th- century masterpiece that is a testament to the history and power of this region. From the Great Hall to the majestic views of Royal Park, there’s plenty to see here.

Day 4
Edinburgh/ Manchester
2 stops
11
Edinburgh
We’ll be saying goodbye to Scotland today but not before popping in for a visit at Scotland’s capital, the magical city of Edinburgh. There’s just something about Edinburgh. Maybe it’s the sound of cars driving on cobblestone streets. Perhaps it’s the way Edinburgh Castle watches over the city in quiet contemplation. Maybe it’s the peaceful beauty of Dean Village. Or maybe it’s the history-infused alleyways of the Old Town.
4 hours • Admission ticket free
12
Manchester
Do you stay in Scotland or return to England? Because that part’s up to you. We will make stops along the way back down to Manchester.
